I don't think many of us would deny that. I certainly don't.

You got it. If it leaves the factory with the badges, that's ok. If badges are added, that's clownage.

Can't answer that one, I don't have any modified trim on my car...I believe the lip spoiler isn't an "M" part though, it's a BMW Performance part...someone please correct me if I am wrong...

You don't need an ///M badge to show that your vehicle is an M-Sport, the body-kit and trim will already show that.
Finally, don't take it too personally!! It's just forum banter, people can do whatever they want to their cars...(it's great laugh for the rest of us!!).
Like I said in a previous thread (maybe earlier in this one), I saw a really nice 330i come up my road the other day, ruby black, SE trim with 230 wheels and a cream interior...looked great but on the back there was a nasty ///M badge and I think it just ruined the look of the car from an understated sleeper to a lary douche-mobile. Just IMO though...
